Max is referred to as a pop culture ICON...
His work has been a part of historic events such as Woodstock, Olympics, various pivotal sporting events, and The Grammy Awards.  He has worked for both celebrities and presidents.  Max is best recognized for his Poster Revolution which came on the cusp of the print media explosion of 60's where psychedelic movement in graphic design was imitated in commercial illustration.
